Sort of a related question - Markdown **Cross References**.

I couldn't find a list online of exactly what is supported by the sundown (deprecated?) markdown engine that MailMate uses in at least some places. I would assume it's the baseline text defined in John Gruber's [Markdown Syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax/) page, but happily MailMate supports tables per the MultiMarkdown spec.

So I thought MailMate may support Cross References, as mentioned in the MultiMarkdown [Human Markdown Reference](https://rawgithub.com/fletcher/human-markdown-reference/master/index.html) Cross Reference section, it should be possible to do:

---

```
You can place a link to a point in your document like this [one][], or [another][] place in the doc.

## one ##

A simple subheading in a larger document with the same name as the referring tag.

## Another place in the document [another] ##

Another place in the document that is referenced by the [another] tag in the heading
```

---

Yet when you try this example, you actually get:

---

You can place a link to a point in your document like this [one][], or [another][] place in the doc.

## one ##

A simple subheading in a larger document with the same name as the referring tag.

## Another place in the document [another] ##

Would now be a good time to move MailMate's markdown support to MultiMarkdown, since MultiMarkdown seems to offer more features and is still developing?

No, it's only possible when inlining images.

I think it would be possible in all cases if MailMate always generated a so-called Content-ID for attachments.

Why/how do you need to reference an attached document?
